The first-prize winner, Pham Thi Hong Diu, Khanh Hoa Women’s Union says, “The contest gives me an opportunity to widen my knowledge and practice problem-solving skills.” In her writing, she confirmed, “Although divorce is the right of every individual, divorce can not be arbitrary and must be governed by law. No one wants to have a broken marriage, separated families with children living away from their parent. Therefore, we should try our best to build a happy family. However, when we can not maintain a happy marriage life, we need to calmly and frankly present our personal views in order to find the best solution for ourselves and our children.”


The second-prize winner named Nguyen Duc Vu, Hap Cuong Quarter, To Hap Town, Khanh Son District says, “A so-called “happy couple” must be together to overcome difficulties in life. The purpose of marriage is building a sustainable happy life based on mutual support and attachment.”



“The contest proved effective through writings sent to the organizing board. Hopefully, each contestant will become an active collaborator in raising public awareness of the law on marriage and family. Apart from joining the contest, many other channels such as the radio, the Internet, etc are available for everybody to widen their lawful knowledge,” says Le Van Ha, Director of Khanh Hoa Department of Justice.
